도널드 트럼프 대통령이 캐나다에 관세를 부과할 계획을 발표한 것은 많은 기업들에게 놀라운 소식이며, 이로 인해 많은 기업들이 잠재적인 여파에 대처하기 위해 분주히 움직이고 있다. 대선 후보 시절 트럼프는 캐나다 관세가 논의될 것이라고는 거의 언급하지 않았지만, 이제 우리의 북쪽 이웃들은 미국으로 들어오는 모든 상품에 최대 25%의 관세를 맞을 위기에 처해 있다.

Jim Cramer, host of CNBC's "Mad Money," has recently highlighted a range of stocks that some believe will withstand market volatility and provide steady long-term returns. His recommendations often spark both interest and discussion among investors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Movements and Mixed Signals</h2>
Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) remains among Cramer's top choices. The beverage giant posted a 6% increase in <a href="https://www.coca-colacompany.com/media-center/coca-cola-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results">fourth-quarter revenue</a>, reaching $11.5 billion, while adjusted earnings per share rose 12% to $0.51.&nbsp;

According to <a href="https://www.ainvest.com/news/jim-cramer-on-coca-cola-company-ko-definitely-a-stock-that-is-worth-owning-24101010c0e219af95fc94ce/">AInvest</a>, Coca-Cola's strategic partnerships with Brown-Forman (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BF#NYSE">BF</a>, BF.B)) and Molson Coors Beverage (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>) mark a significant expansion into the alcoholic beverage market. These collaborations could diversify Coca-Cola's product offerings and drive revenue growth, reinforcing its status as a stable investment choice.
In the banking sector, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) has also caught Cramer's attention. According to <a href="https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/jpmorgan-jpm-way-too-cheap-at-14x-earnings-jim-cramer-calls-it-the-premier-bank-1446450/">Insider Monkey</a>, he referred to JPMorgan as the &#8220;premier bank&#8221; and noted that its stock is &#8220;way too cheap&#8221; at 14 times earnings.

Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), the e-commerce and cloud computing giant, also features among Cramer's picks.

Amazon Web Services generated $28.8 billion in revenue in the <a href="https://ir.aboutamazon.com/news-release/news-release-details/2025/Amazon.com-Announces-Fourth-Quarter-Results/">fourth quarter</a>, while its advertising segment produced $17.3 billion.

These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

UBS Maintains Neutral on Molson Coors Beverage, Raises Price Target to $63

Trump&#8217;s plans to place tariffs on Canada has come as a surprise, and many businesses are scrambling to deal with the potential fallout.
President Trump gave little indication that Canadian tariffs were on the table during his campaign, but now our northerly neighbors face tariffs of as much as 25% on all goods crossing into the United States.
Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reached a deal to delay the tariffs until March, but the threat of increased costs is already causing some companies to take action &#8211; and Canadian consumers to boycott US products.
Here are the five companies that will suffer the most from this surprise trade war.
During the company's recent earnings conference call, Ford CEO Jim Farley said that prolonged tariffs on Canada and Mexico would have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43524700/ford-ceo-jim-farley-says-trumps-proposed-tariffs-on-mexico-canada-will-be-manageable-in-near-term-but-will-have-huge-impact-if-protracted">significant impact</a> on the US auto industry. But it's not just the auto industry that's come to rely on trading partners. Energy, agriculture, and manufacturing are other sectors that will be affected by increased costs from Canadian goods.
Today, we'll examine five stocks that heavily rely on Canadian imports. Although these companies are in different industries, all would face pressure if the maximum 25% tariff is enacted.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Molson Coors Beverage Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>)</h2>
Molson Coors could be hit twice by tariffs since the company imports not only Canadian beers to the United States but also aluminum for cans of domestically produced beverages. Molson is responsible for several popular beers like Molson Canadian and Molson Dry. The company would also be at risk of retaliatory tariffs as Coors Light, Miller Genuine Draft, and Blue Moon are also popular beverages imported to Canada from the United States.
The tariff threat comes at an inopportune time for Molson Coors, as the company reported a top and bottom line beat on its February 13 earnings report but projects <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43688209/molson-coors-sees-fy25-net-sales-low-single-digit-increase-versus-2024-on-a-constant-currency-basis">low single-digit sales growth</a> over the full 2025 year.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="317" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165314/MCB-1024x317.png" alt="" class="wp-image-783941" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165314/MCB-1024x317.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165314/MCB-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165314/MCB-768x238.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165314/MCB.png 1244w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
TAP shares have been in a tailspin since Thanksgiving, dropping from $62 to $53 before the recent earnings jump. Despite the quality report, this could be an excellent spot to unload the stock before the Trump administration hits Canada with forceful tariffs. Based on Benzinga's market search, TAP shares are covered by 27 different analysts with an average rating of Hold and a consensus price target of $62.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>)</h2>
The auto industry is at the highest risk of pain from tariffs, and Stellantis could face pressure from several angles. The company was formed when Chrysler merged with the French manufacturer PCA Group and currently makes Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Jeep vehicles in North America. Unfortunately, Stellantis production occurs in countries where the Trump administration has threatened harsh tariffs, namely Canada, Mexico, and the European Union.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="317" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165330/STE-1-1024x317.png" alt="" class="wp-image-783943" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165330/STE-1-1024x317.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165330/STE-1-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165330/STE-1-768x238.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165330/STE-1.png 1244w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Stellantis currently has two manufacturing plants in Canada, located in Toronto and Windsor. The Toronto plant produces engine and transmission parts and aluminum die castings, while the Windsor plant manufactures Chrysler Pacifica and Dodge Charger vehicles (yes, the Charger is made in Canada, not the United States). STLA shares have plummeted since making an early 2024 high, and the stock is trading firmly below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. And to pile on the bearish sentiment, Barclays and RBC Capital both downgraded the stock to Neutral last October.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Advance Auto Parts Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>)</h2>
The auto industry is in crisis mode following the tariff announcements, but most of the focus has been on car manufacturers like Stellantis, Ford, and General Motors. However, the after-market car part business is another central industry area, and many DIY car projects will become more expensive if 25% tariffs on Canada take effect.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="317" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165351/AAP-1024x317.png" alt="" class="wp-image-783944" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165351/AAP-1024x317.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165351/AAP-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165351/AAP-768x238.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165351/AAP.png 1244w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The three major DIY auto parts stores in the United States are AutoZone, O'Reilly Automotive, and Advance Auto Parts. Right now, AAP looks to be in the worst shape. The company saw its revenue growth decline by 3% over the last 12 months, while AZO and ORLY each increased revenue year over year. AAP also has the slowest inventory turnover, the smallest free cash flow pile, and the highest price-to-earnings ratio of the three primary auto parts dealers. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and 50-day and 200-day moving averages also continue sending bearish signals, so avoid AAP shares until the tariff threat fades.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">D.R. Horton Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>)</h2>
D.R. Horton is the biggest homebuilder in the United States, and the firm has been sounding some alarms about housing costs in the face of tariffs and declining workforce participation. Lumber imports from Canada are key to homebuilders like DHI, and house buyers are already stretched thin by high prices and 7% mortgage rates. It is unlikely homebuilders have much more room to pass costs onto consumers, which could further exacerbate a tepid US housing market.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="319" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165357/DR-1024x319.png" alt="" class="wp-image-783945" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165357/DR-1024x319.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165357/DR-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165357/DR-768x239.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165357/DR.png 1252w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
DHI stock has dropped from $156 to $129 in the span of just a few weeks, thanks to pressure on housing inputs like lumber, steel, and aluminum. Analysts are also becoming more bearish on homebuilders as Bank of America <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43246599/bofa-downgrades-dr-horton-and-smith-douglas-citing-cost-pressures-and-weak-roe-outlook">downgraded the stock</a> immediately following inauguration day, citing rising costs and weak return on equity. DHI posted a bad earnings and revenue miss in Q3 2024 but rebounded with a top and bottom line beat in Q4. This earnings boost could provide an exit ramp for investors who aren't optimistic about housing in 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENB#NYSE">ENB</a>)</h2>
Energy is another sector at the forefront of tariff troubles, and Enbridge Inc. is one of the pipeline providers in the crosshairs. Enbridge is a major exporter of crude oil, natural gas, and renewables to the United States through its network of pipelines, distribution systems, and storage facilities. However, if the Trump administration is serious about cutting down on Canadian energy imports, ENB shares could also tumble from their current levels.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="319" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165419/ENB-1024x319.png" alt="" class="wp-image-783946" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165419/ENB-1024x319.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165419/ENB-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165419/ENB-768x239.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165419/ENB.png 1252w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
From a technical perspective, the RSI could hint at ENB stock's next move. Following the early February drawdown, the share price quickly rebounded to mid-January levels, but a divergence emerged as the RSI made a strong pivot downward after nearing 70, which is the traditional signal for an overbought stock. With technical and fundamental headwinds in play, ENB shares could struggle to maintain their momentum in 2025.

Wall Street climbed on Thursday, even as the Producer Price Index (PPI) sharply exceeded estimates in January, reigniting concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43692996/inflation-fears-mount-as-producer-prices-soar-to-35-put-fed-interest-rate-cut-on-ice">over persistent inflationary pressures. </a>
Despite the hotter-than-expected PPI reading—up 3.5% year-over-year in January, surpassing the 3.3% forecast—investors found some relief in certain PPI components that influence the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, which showed signs of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43701823/economists-breathe-sigh-of-relief-why-producer-inflation-isnt-as-bad-as-it-seems">cooling compared to December.</a>
Investor risk appetite remained supported by expectations of ceasefire talks in Ukraine following a conversation between former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin a day earlier. 
By midday trading in New York, all major indices were in positive territory, with technology stocks leading the gains. Among semiconductor stocks, Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) continued to rally, surging 10% after strong performances in prior sessions. 
The U.S. chipmaker benefited from renewed buying momentum following comments from Vice President J.D. Vance, who indicated that the Trump administration plans to ease regulations to accelerate AI chip innovation in the U.S.
Intel has now soared over 27% this week, tracking its best weekly performance since 1974. 
The U.S. dollar extended its decline as Treasury yields pulled back sharply, reversing Wednesday&#8217;s surge.
In commodities, gold edged up 0.4% to $2,918 per ounce, oil remained steady at $71 per barrel, and natural gas surged 2.4% to $3.66 per million British thermal units. 
Sentiment in cryptocurrency markets remained subdued, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) sliding 2.4% to trade below $96,000.

Stocks Rise Despite Hot Producer Inflation, Intel Soars, Bitcoin Drops Below $96,000: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Players in the Zacks <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industry/beverages-alcohol-19">Beverages &ndash; Alcohol</a> industry are grappling with rising costs, driven by inflationary pressures on labor, transportation and raw materials. Higher ingredient prices, shipping expenses and packaging costs have strained margins, while increased spending on advertising, promotions and operations challenges profitability. These cost pressures are expected to persist in the near term. Meanwhile, the newly imposed tariffs by President Donald Trump are set to disrupt the U.S. beverage alcohol market. The tariffs are expected to drive up prices for imported brands, potentially reducing consumer demand and straining supply chains.
Despite these challenges, the alcohol industry is experiencing strong growth, fueled by premiumization, as consumers seek distinctive, high-quality beverages. Trending segments like RTD spirits, canned wine and cocktails, hard seltzers, cider, and flavored malt beverages are reshaping the market. To stay ahead, brands are prioritizing innovation and product development to align with shifting consumer preferences. Strategic investments in premiumization, technology and product innovation are positioning key players like Molson Coors TAP, The Boston Beer Company Inc.

The Zacks Beverages &ndash; Alcohol industry mainly comprises producers, importers, exporters, marketers and sellers of alcoholic beverages like beer, craft beer, ciders, wine, rum, whiskey, liqueurs, vodka, tequila, champagnes, brandy, amaretto, RTD cocktails and malt. Some industry players also produce and sell non-alcoholic beverages like carbonated soft drinks, sparkling waters, bottled water, energy drinks, powdered and natural juices, and RTD teas. The companies sell products through wholesalers and retailers like supermarkets, warehouse clubs, grocery stores, convenience stores, package stores, drug stores and other retail outlets. The industry participants also sell beer directly to consumers in cans and bottles at restaurants, pubs, bars and liquor stores. Some brewers operate brewpubs or taste rooms at breweries, offering consumers the freshest beer.
What&#39;s Shaping the Future of Beverages - Alcohol Industry
Elevated Costs: The alcohol industry continues to face significant cost pressures due to inflationary impacts on labor, transportation and raw materials. Rising ingredient costs, particularly for grains and fruits, along with increased expenses for shipping, trucking, fuel, co-packing and packaging materials, have driven up production and operating costs. These challenges have weighed on the gross and operating margins, making profitability more difficult to sustain.
Beyond rising input and packaging costs, beverage companies are dealing with higher advertising, promotional and SG&amp;A expenses. Increased investments in brand marketing, media, local promotions, and production, coupled with growing freight costs due to higher volumes, are adding to the financial strain. Rising compensation and discretionary spending are contributing to SG&amp;A deleverage. Many industry players expect these cost pressures to persist in the near term, challenging profitability.
Potential Tariff Impacts: President Donald Trump&#39;s newly imposed tariffs are set to have a significant impact on the U.S. beverage alcohol industry, affecting pricing, supply chains, international trade and consumer behavior. The policy includes a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, and a 10% tariff on China goods, driving up costs for imported alcoholic beverages, such as Johnnie Walker whisky and Corona beer. As importers pass these higher costs onto consumers, retail prices are expected to rise, dampening demand. Additionally, the tariffs could disrupt supply chains, forcing companies to reassess sourcing strategies, which may lead to product shortages, delays and increased operational expenses. With reduced availability and rising prices, consumers may shift to alternative products or cut back on purchases, ultimately impacting industry sales and profitability.
Premiumization &amp; Product Diversification: Premiumization continues to drive growth in the alcohol sector as consumers seek unique and refreshing flavors. Beverage companies are expanding their portfolios to meet rising demand for premium and high-end products. The market is evolving with a surge in craft spirits, low-alcohol and non-alcoholic options, pushing brands beyond traditional categories like beer, whiskey, spirits and wine. Trending segments now include RTD spirits, canned wine and cocktails, hard seltzers, cider and flavored malt beverages. To stay competitive, companies are prioritizing innovation and product development to align with shifting consumer preferences.
Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Dull Prospects
The Zacks Beverages &ndash; Alcohol industry is a 17-stock group within the broader Zacks <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/sector/consumer-staples-1">Consumer Staples</a> sector. The industry currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #233, placing it at the bottom 6% of more than 250 Zacks industries.
The group&#39;s <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industries/">Zacks Industry Rank</a>, which is basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates dull near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
The industry&#39;s positioning in the bottom 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is a result of a negative earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are gradually losing confidence in this group&#39;s earnings growth potential.
